My f-150 was the same until we reprogrammed it and changed the speed limiter settings. I’ve had my 73 in my signature photo to 106 on my Garmin GPS. It had more to give but I didn’t have the guts to go any faster. The speedometer said I was doing 84. Can’t get the right speedometer gear for the gearing and the 35’s. But not bad for a truck that was really designed to do sixty!
I hit 100 passing on a two lane road in Arizona this week. Some idiot didn't know what cruise control was and was drifting between 55-70 in a 65. Of course, when I went to pass, they just kept speeding up.
Right, and that's a good example of when you might need that limiter removed... Seriously though, that seems low for a modern car. I don't think I have had a car that limited (whether governed or lack of performance) since the 80s... I plan to get my turned which should eliminate that...
when you think you need to drive 100 mph to pass on a public roadway, it might be a good example of where human discretion and emotional self-control is more important than mechanical speed limitation.
